Hundreds of California teachers protest Trump's nominee for secretary of education
By Dora Ramos Jan 31, 2017Jack Reed is planning to vote against President Donald Trump's nominee for education secretary.
Being pro-school choice does not mean you want to tear down public schools, in fact the goal is the opposite. Booker. So it is natural for him to seize this opportunity, through the confirmation process for DeVos, to stand up against partisan politics, highlight their shared mission, and forge a new bond advocating for New Jersey's public school children. "I think this is a bought and sold position, and I think it's ridiculous".
Not all is lost for DeVos, though, and it's likely she will be confirmed Tuesday.
Together, DeVos and Booker could prove a formidable team successfully navigating the next iteration of challenges and pitfalls in our nation's public education system.
"Her blatant extremist, anti-public school political agenda violates every student's civil rights at the most basic level", the CTA said in a statement.
Casey also stated that he plans to vote against Trump's Attorney General nominee Sen. "They [parents] know other options exists, whether magnet, virtual, charter, home, faith-based or any other combination", she said in an endorsement of alternatives to the traditional public school model. Alexander defended her last week, saying he is confident she will be approved by the full Senate. In addition, DeVos's comments during her confirmation hearing suggest that DeVos is unacquainted with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, a federal law which provides essential supports to students in Exceptional Education. No Republican has signaled opposition to her confirmation. "Any move to privatize our public education system will fiscally ... undermine the districts that we are supposed to be supporting", Friedman said, adding that privatization will also make the charter sector "less publicly accountable".
Teacher unions and advocacy groups have come out against DeVos, citing her overall inexperience in education.

According to Trump's ideals, Santa Cruz' family, including his mother and father, would be deported. "Let's do it a third time". The best man won. "I was grateful and honoured to share a ring with such a great champion", added Frampton.
Casey's Republican counterpart, Sen.
Over the past week, my office has received quite a few calls from across SC and the nation in regards to Mrs. DeVos' nomination.
DeVos has pushed for educational choice, whether charter schools, school vouchers, or tuition tax credits.
"It shows his true colors, and clearly he does not care about public education", said Hynes, who has been a leading critic of the reliance on standardized state test scores to measure student performance. He said failed public education led to poverty, underemployment and incarceration.
"A lot of folks are exhausted of the same old same old", he said.
DeVos has largely worked toward education reform in the state of MI.
